Return to 83: Start by changing your surname

Chapter 4
From 40 to [-], spanning [-] years of history, Mu Shanhe, who has just sorted out his thoughts, is still filled with emotions.There are not many fragments stored in his mind about the memories of this era.

If nothing unexpected happens, in a few months someone will come from the capital thousands of miles away to Xinmintun, which is built near the forest farm, to pick him up who has become lonely.Although he doesn't want to leave, everyone seems to want him to.

Even people who really care about him feel that he should choose to leave instead of staying in this kind of mountainous place for the rest of his life, where it seems that he has no future.Perhaps because of this, Mu Shanhe finally chose to leave helplessly.

Recalling these past events, Mu Shanhe smiled contemptuously and said, "In this life, I have to change my way of living!"

Mu Shanhe, who expressed these emotions, did not stay in the Mountain God Cave. Instead, he packed up all the equipment he brought into the mountain and started walking out of the mountain.If he doesn't want to leave, he must prove to the people in the village that he has the ability to support himself.

In his previous life, when he had just graduated and was still underage, he would have seemed a bit idle in the village of Mu Shanhe.Apart from occasionally helping people in the village to earn some so-called pocket money, he really couldn't find any other way to make money.

It is said that "you can rely on the mountain to eat", but in this era, many profitable businesses are simply not possible for Mu Shanhe.You can make money by digging ginseng and collecting herbs, and you can make money by hunting and selling fur and meat.But how could he do this at only 15 years old?

But if it were Mu Shanhe at this moment, he didn't think there was any problem.Although at this moment, he looks a bit thin and thin due to his height and weight.But Mu Shanhe believes that if he is given some time to exercise, he will grow quickly or become stronger.

Recalling himself in his previous life, Mu Shanhe also lamented: "In later generations, people say that Northeastern big men are all at least 1.8 meters tall. But in fact, although I could not be called a third-level disabled person in my previous life, I am not a Northeastern big man either. !”

Determined to grow to a height of at least 1.8 meters in this life, Mu Shanhe walked along the rugged mountain road to the outside of the mountain.But not long after walking, a flash of red appeared in his sight, and he stopped immediately.

After taking a closer look, Mu Shanhe said with a smile: "In my previous life, I went into the mountains alone to collect ginseng for the first time, but ended up feeling lonely. Even after I returned to the village, I even made the old village chief talk about it for a long time. In this life, it seems that it is really going to happen. Transferred."

Looking at the plant hidden in the bushes with small red fruits growing on its head, Mu Shanhe also knew that this was the wild ginseng that he had been searching for for several days but could not find it.Judging from the shape and leaves, this is a ginseng with five leaves.

After finding the ginseng-picking tools that the old man had used in his early years, Mu Shanhe extremely carefully inserted the locking stick next to the ginseng, and finally tied the red rope on the ginseng, and then took out the deer bone drill specially used for picking ginseng.

Even though he had actually dug wild ginseng very few times in his entire life.But in his past life, he had gone into the mountains with the old man many times, so he naturally knew that when digging this kind of ginseng, he must be careful and make sure that every ginseng root was completely taken out.

Fortunately, this fifth-leaf ginseng is not very difficult to harvest.After resting for a while, it took Mu Shanhe nearly two hours to finally lift out the ginseng.Looking at the ginseng in his hand, Mu Shanhe also looked extremely happy.

"I'm afraid this ginseng costs only four ounces. In future generations, it would be no problem to sell such a high-quality wild ginseng for dozens of dollars. Even in this day and age, it should be able to sell for nearly a thousand dollars!"

Mu Shanhe doesn't know the current price of wild ginseng, so he can only make a rough estimate.After carrying out the hard work of wild ginseng, he found bark and moss, wrapped it up, and continued walking out of the mountain.

When nightfall was about to fall, he finally appeared where the village was.Because his family originally lived near the village.Therefore, Mu Shanhe who returned to the village did not disturb other people in the village.

Seeing the smoke rising from most of the dozens of households in the village, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "I haven't experienced this kind of smoke and fire in the world for many years. But for me, living in the village will I'm afraid it's not convenient." If he wants to move out of the village and live alone in the mountains, he must prove to the people in the village that he has the ability to live alone in the mountains.As for why he chose to go deep into the mountains alone instead of living in the countryside, there was naturally a reason why he had to do this.

Taking out the key and pushing open the door, Mu Shanhe felt excited and complicated as he looked at the small wooden house with no ruins left in later generations.When he saw the portrait enshrined on the altar, tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

"Master, I'm back!"

Because my grandfather passed away less than a year ago, his portrait is enshrined on the altar at home.But for Mu Shanhe, when he left Xinmintun in his previous life, although he took the photo frame with him, he never had the chance to offer sacrifices.

The reason was simple. When he arrived at a home where he didn't feel much warmth, he couldn't find a chance to worship the old man.Even in the eyes of others, this behavior still seems a bit feudal and superstitious, and is not welcomed by many people who consider themselves to be literate.

However, this time, Mu Shanhe did not hesitate too much. After putting the things on his back, he took out the incense candle and lit it, and then bowed his head respectfully to the portrait.He even planned to visit the graveyard near the village tomorrow.

There, buried was the old man who passed away just a few years ago, and the miserable mother whose memory was blurred!

Just when Mu Shanhe finished the sacrifice and had just calmed down his complicated mood, a voice came from the door of the courtyard: "Is anyone home?"

When Mu Shanhe heard the call, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly walked out of the room and said, "Grandpa Mu, why are you here?"

Looking at the old man shouting at the entrance of the hospital, Mu Shanhe also looked extremely respectful.The reason is that he was Grandpa's best friend during his lifetime and the oldest village chief in the village. His prestige in the village is self-evident.

The result was just as Mu Shanhe expected. Mu Xingfu, who was over sixty years old, scolded him with a straight face: "You still know how to come back! Your father is gone, is there no one to care about you? How dare you go into the mountains alone? , you don’t want your life?”

Mu Shanhe, who was being scolded, bowed his head sincerely and admitted his mistake: "Grandpa Mu, I'm sorry, I was wrong. It's just that I graduated, and I seem to have failed the exam this time. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to study in the future. I have to learn how to be myself Feed yourself, right?”

The originally angry old man was stunned for a moment after hearing what Mu Shanhe said, with a stern expression on his face. After a while, he said: "Then you can't go into the mountains alone! If you really want to be like your father, relying on the mountains to make a living, I have to wait for you. Let’s talk about it as an adult.”

"Then we have to wait! Grandpa Mu, I know you are worried that something will happen to me in the mountains. But in the past few years, my grandpa and I have gone to the mountains countless times, and I know the rules of asking for work in the mountains. And this time when I went into the mountains, I There are gains too!”

"What's the harvest? Your precious uncle and the others didn't gain much even though they went into the mountains. What can you guys gain?"

Although he understood Mu Shanhe's reason for going into the mountains alone, Mu Xingfu still didn't want the underage Mu Shanhe to earn a living by running around in the mountains.Because the old man knows that running to the mountains to seek work is not a long-term solution. How can he not get his shoes wet if he walks along the river all year round?
If Mu Shanhe really had a problem in the mountains, how would he deal with his old friend Mu Xingye when he came underground?After all, before my old friend passed away, I asked him to take good care of his underage and only living relative and grandson!
